Up to build 10074 (I think - I could be off a few builds), I could run an application with a parameterfrom the Search box or Run option in Classic Shell.

Now the addition of a parameter causes an Explorer window to open with a failed search.

As an example, I have a small application that pops up a message box. If I enter the following:

I get no run of the application, but instead this failed search:

Running the same command from a CMD window, the application is run successfully:

Note that when I do the same thing from Classic Shell 4.2.2 in Win 8.1 the "See more results" submenu item does NOT pop up and when I hit return I DO see the application run properly with the parameters. This is the more preferable result.

A secondary problem:

On Win 10 any attempt to bring up the Run box from Classic Shell yields nothing at all.

OK, on the first item, I now realize the "See more results" entry comes from the [ ] Search files box being checked. It's also checked on my Win 8.1 system, but I keep the search indexer disabled, so it was non-functional (and showing a red mark).

Well the 1st bug you reported is also correct. For example, in the Windows 7 Start Menu or at command prompt, or Run dialog, if we type:regedit -MIt opens multiple instances of Regedit (because the -m switch is being sent correctly)In Classic Start Menu, regedit -M doesn't open another instance of Regedit because the parameter is being ignored.

Thanks for reporting the bug

Btw I checked previous versions and this bug/regression is new for Classic Shell 4.2.2 beta. Earlier versions are not affected.

Please try the Run command before you do any customizations to 10162 to make sure it is broken from the start.There are no logs that can help diagnose it. If you still have problems after the upgrade I will have to make a small test program for you to try.
